Images will almost always appear more bright and saturated on screen. (More so on uncalibrated LCD screens.) Canvas has a tendency to "suck up" color and contrast. I've found you have to overdo it some to get the vibrant color you are expecting. Some printers may offer color correction to make up for this on their end.
